Cedar Grove to Rae Lakes Loop(42 miles + 20 miles of day hikes)June 21–28, 2014Nick, Omi, Chris, and Clara(This hike was organized through MeetUp by Omi))

This basic trip is described in Sierra South, though we did it in the reverse (counterclockwise) direction, with various side trips. We took this trip in a relaxed way giving ourselves 7 days of hiking, and never doing more than 10 miles really. This trip covers one of the most popular parts of the Sierras. Because of that you will see a lot of people on the trials (the middle part is along the JMT and PCT), but it is popular for a good reason. You hike along Creeks with great waterfalls and pool and get to wonderful mountain lakes, many with great fishing, as well as all the magnificent views. The trip really just has one pass mid way through the trip, as you start off at 5,000, get up to 12,000' and then head back down.

Thank for taking the time to write this up and adding the links for the photo's Nsmeier. The photo's of the Bubb's crossing at Junction looks easy compared to other years and will answer some members questions/concerns about it.
